Expert Solution
Step 1 Explanation:

Colson company will pay interest semi-annually i.e on each July 1 and January 1.

Hence company will book interest expense on year end date and will create liability by crediting Interest Payable A/c.

Journal entry on year end December 31 i.e  in between interest payment date will be:

Interest Expense A/c Dr....   xxx

        To Interest Payable A/c.     xxxx

(Being accrued interest expense booked for 6months)

Note: Interest expense A/c will hit profit and loss account while Interest Payable A/c will appear in year end Balance sheet.
